Review
Match Of My Life is a delight --The Wisden Cricketer magazine
From the Author
As Andrew Flintoff's England prepare to defend the Ashes in
Australia, Match of My Life - The Ashes relives 12 classic matches from
past series through the eyes of the men on the pitch.
The book features exclusive contributions from six English and six
Australian greats, including 2005 Ashes winner Ashley Giles, Geoff Boycott,
David Gower, Glenn McGrath, Justin Langer and Merv Hughes.
Giles recalls hitting the winning runs at Trent Bridge, scoring a Test-best
59 alongside Kevin Pietersen to help England clinch the Ashes at The Oval
and taking 10 wickets in the greatest ever Ashes series.
Each player gives a vivid first-person account of his outstanding match,
including memories of the stellar performances, controversy and legendary
team-mates and opponents that have shaped Ashes history.
Geoff Boycott relives the dogged century at Trent Bridge that helped win
England the 1977 series, Bob Willis recounts his incredible eight-wicket
haul in England's seemingly impossible victory at Headingley in 1981 and
David Gower remembers captaining England to glory in the 1985 series.
For Australia, Glenn McGrath reveals the ecstasy of taking his 500th Test
wicket at Lord's in the first Test of last summer, former Australian
skipper Mark Taylor recalls how he helped turn 'the worst team in Ashes
history' into 4-0 series winners in 1989 and Justin Langer remembers his
match-winning double century at Melbourne in 2002.
England have had few successes in Australia, but Ray Illingworth explains
how he masterminded their victory in 1970/71 and John Emburey reminisces
about the last time England won Down Under, in 1986/87.
These gripping and often humorous accounts provide an evocative insight
into many celebrated Ashes moments as the nation gears up for another
enthralling battle with the Aussies.
In Match of My Life - The Ashes, England are represented by Ashley Giles,
Geoff Boycott, David Gower, Bob Willis, Ray Illingworth and John Emburey.
The Australian line-up comprises Glenn McGrath, Justin Langer, Mark Taylor,
Jeff Thomson, Merv Hughes and Neil Harvey.
